Why is having an Adult conversation about how a game went down being considered an act of toxicity?

This has become a more frequent thing in my games, and im curious if other people are having a similar time with this, but i noticed recently, that people seem to take my asking to have a real conversation with them about why a game went how it did as me trying to insult them or be toxic. After a lost game, more than once there are times when i believe there is more fault than the classic "its all jungler's fault all the time" and so i invite people to join my discord server to discuss the game and watch the vod to talk about what went down so we can all improve, and people have not only turned this down, but have called me a bully and a rager for wanting to have a review of our game and what went wrong. And whats worse is people are now claiming to be reporting me for asking them to have this after game conversation. considering riot's toxic behavior bot picks up behavior based on what is most reported, i have to wonder if asking for a vod review together will become toxic now. It seems kind of silly that trying to have a basic conversation about what went wrong has the potential to get me banned as a result of the bot, so if anyone wants to talk about this im down to, i just want to know why trying to talk with someone about the game is being considered toxicity now.

Having an adult conversation about how a game went is not considered toxicity.

Having a fit disguised as a conversation, playing the blame game, and purposely trying to ruin the day of other people are considered toxicity, and unfortunately these things are far more common when someone says they want to talk to you after a game. Some people are still trusting, but many have been burned by seemingly good hearted players already, and don't want to get burned again.

If this is what you like to do after a game more power to you, and please don't let the violent reaction against you change your mind. People get defensive when they don't want to be hurt again, it's nothing personal against you.

The reporting system will deal with those false reports, so you've got nothing to worry about here. If for some reason a punishment does show up make a support ticket on Riot's support page and request a punishment review. Support is pretty good about getting improper punishments taken care of.
